I like to render in vray, but i dont like to render fluids in it. Is it bad to render the fluids in mental ray? and when it comes to rendering out the different passes, is there anytime that you will want to render it out for seperate objects? Or is just having 1 pass of everything enough. Good tut btw!

why do you say this video deals with passes when all you talk about are render settings but nothing about passes??
